ავტორი: ლაშა ბუღაძე; Bugadze Lasha; სერია: Georgian Fiction The novel is about literature and writers, more precisely, about unknown and mediocre authors travelling together. A literary association has invited authors of various nationalities to a seminar and the narrative follows their train journey through Europe on the Literature Express, a train specially chartered for the occasion. The novel describes the self-absorption of the authors and their inability to communicate with one another. They are portrayed as inward-looking and largely disinterested in their fellow travelers’ work. The novel is therefore a reflection on literature and the unsuccessful author. The main character of the story is a Georgian author. At the heart of the novel lies the love story between him and his Polish translator’s wife. However, their romance is as unsuccessful as the protagonist’s attempts at literary success. At the end of the fascinating voyage through Europe, we find out that all authors participating in the seminar are writing their new books on the Literature Express. Let’s see how the Georgian author will fare.  

ავტორი: ბესო ხვედელიძე; Бесо Хведелидзе; ~ სერია: Georgian Fiction Проза Бесо Хведелидзе — это всегда мощный ассоциативный ряд, динамичный язык, смещение акцентов и переосмысление, казалось бы, прописных истин. Так, например, рассказ «Тамро» о судьбе некогда первой тбилисской красавицы и ее брата в инвалидной коляске. Всем известная библейская заповедь о любви к ближнему получает здесь совершенно иное, новое звучание. Многогранное и неоднозначное. Вне привычных схем и оценок. У прозы Бесо Хведелидзе есть только один «недостаток»: она очень кинематографична. В этом сборнике собраны 9 рассказов. Все они разные по стилистике и тематике. Но в одном они идентичны: предлагают особый стиль жизни, отвергающий урбанистическую цивилизацию, комфорт потребительского общества, схематические представления о браке, любви и дружбе – принятые в Грузии критерии ценности человеческой личности.

ავტორი: ლაშა ბუღაძე; Lasha Bugadze სერია: Georgian Fiction Lasha Bugadze’s play is a tragicomedy about loneliness and alienation. The narrative of the radio play is highly dynamic while the drama takes a somewhat absurd turn, which has a deep impact on listeners and readers. In 2011 the play won the Best Radio Play award in the First Language Category at the competition held by the BBC and the British Council. The same year the play was recorded by the British actors and aired by the BBC.
